Aligned for Mercury Retrograde

It’s as if Mercury is waving good bye at the end of the Famous Year, 2012; a year of great transition; the alpha and omega of years. In Capricorn, an earth sign, Mercury is about practical things. There are so many opportunities and inventions still to come; songs to be written and sung, people to be healed. A good way to bring in the New Year might be to make a list of possibilities: Personal and collective. The sextile to Neptune suggests we might benefit from a bit of dreaming as well as planning. Then we need to sit with it for a while. Many things are possible but nothing is guaranteed. 

This tension between Mercury and Jupiter is seen in that Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and that is where Jupiter is. Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius and that is where Mercury is at the moment.

Is there a way to stay alive in the informational ocean we swim in without trivializing the mere fact of existence? Or possibly I’m on the wrong track and existence is truly trivial.

What do you think? 

A perfect day for a brilliant idea or even better a brilliant concept shared by a group. We think we own our thoughts; that they belong to us as individuals but truly our minds are inter-connected and thoughts and concepts catch on like wildfire when they speak to a need in the collective psyche.

As Mercury moves forward, uninhibited by the retrograde motion it encourages us to ‘go for it!’
